Bob, I'd suggest changing your date format to yyyy/mm/dd rather than sticking to a 2 digit year. 25/5/27 will be ambiguous is a very short two years or so... :)

[Bob Armstrong]

Hi Kerry - will try....true that the shortened version can be totally ambiguous.

vs

Chess for Connection (Junior Organization)
(25/6/18)


On 25/5/27, GWWS(80+) issued a team chess challenge to CfC!

The junior organization accepted immediately!

When: Mid-August, 2025 (targeting Sat., Aug. 9 currently)

Where: Markham, Ontario.

Partners: Chess4Win

What: 10-board, 2 game, CFC-rated Match

Match Terms:

• 10 boards.
• 2 games, one with each colour.
• Opponent: In the 2nd game, teams will be shuffled a bit so each player plays a different opponent.
• Time control: 70 min. + 15 sec. increment (to make it less physically onerous and allow it to be a 1-day event, while being CFC acceptable as "regular-rated" games).

Atmosphere

- The match will have a good “social” feel, but it will be rated.

- Between the 2 games will be a "social hour”, with snacks, for the players to get to know each other.

Sponsors : will be welcomed by the organizers!
